The Matthew (Mogey) and Jennifer McDonough Family Fund was established to provide ongoing funding for several area charitable nonprofit organizations.

By creating this charitable fund through the Community Foundation, the McDonough family chose a meaningful way to make a lasting difference. Their gift is carefully invested through the Foundation, with a portion of the earnings distributed annually through grants that support meaningful local causes that are important to them. Their original gift remains intact, continuing to grow and provide charitable resources for generations to come.

The Community Foundation of Chippewa County was established to build permanent charitable resources that benefit the people, communities, and nonprofit organizations throughout the County. The Matthew (Mogey) and Jennifer McDonough Family Fund helps to make more possible for organizations and projects that enrich community life, preserve local history, support public safety, and care for people and animals throughout the area.

Organizations supported by grants from this fund include the Community Needs Grant Fund at The Community Foundation of Chippewa County within the environment and animal welfare field of interest, and the Chippewa County Humane Association.

The Matthew (Mogey) and Jennifer McDonough Family Fund is an example of how a designated endowment creates impact that extends far beyond a single gift, strengthening Chippewa County not only today, but for generations to come.
